What can I say about this book? I am almost speechless. The ministry of Willie Johnson, her prayer life, and her unwavering devotion to God even through all the battles she faced is awe-inspiring. Reading testimony after testimony regarding the depth of her walk with God convicts me to hit my knees and seek for a more intimate relationship with our Creator.

Required reading for any minister
I used to wonder what the secret was to great ministry. It wasn’t a secret after all. This book will share that plain truth that will make you realize you knew all along and were simply hesitant to make the leap.

What a fantastic book about the life of a lady who gave her life 100% for the Lord. Wow! Her selflessness, joy to share who God is and the hardships she went through but never let them get her down.
